kobryant 0 Posted November 7, 2008 I have been looking into WLS for some time. I have been over weight for the past 25 years. I have lost over 50 lbs. a couple of times, but always gained it back and more. I look forward to a new me. I no longer want to get winded after walking up one flight of stairs! My insurance approved me very quickly, however due to starting a new job, I am not able to have my surgery until the 1st of January. I have also decided not to announce this to everyone - only family and a few close friends. My significant other made me feel so good when he stated that he loves me just the way I am, but was also concerned about my weight because he wants to grow old with me. He is right by my side. I will be posting on the board with questions, so please be patient. Everyone have a great day!:thumbs_up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TravelLady48 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Welcome to the forum, there are a great group of ladies here who can give you so much first hand information. I was banded on Oct 29 and so far so good. I can tell you I made my final decision after joining this group, plus I was equipped with all kinds of questions for my surgeon after being on LBT. Goodluck in the up coming months as you prepare for your surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
